Great hotel right on the main street of the Latin Quarter!

Excellent location and really Comfy rooms!!!
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is the best, right down in the historic quarter near Spanish Arch, where the buildings are hundreds of years old. You feel like you are walking the road of history. The staff was so friendly and helpful, so we stayed an extra day. The bed was the best we’ve had this trip, so we caught up on our sleep without taking extra time for it! I would definitely stay here again.

Great service!
Dave, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is located on Quay Street which has a lot of shops and restaurants with live music. Our room was interesting as we had 3 people (my daughter, my husband, and myself). If you have 3 people your room has 3 twin beds. One for each person. The bathroom was nice. They provided 2 fans which was nice. The staff were nice. We did have an issue getting back into the hotel one night. We had dinner late and got back to the hotel around 11pm and the front door was locked. We rang the doorbell multiple times and knocked. Eventually a staff member opened the door and apologized for the delay.

8/10 Very good

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bit noisy with the pub downstairs. Better to request a room in the higher floors.
Kathy, 1-night trip

In the middle of Galway. Best location
JOSEPH, 1-night trip

Nice hotel except you’re above a bar that plays live music until 1am. Bring earplugs.
Tamra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.
